Formula 1 drivers will be banned from changing helmet designs in-season under new rules set to be introduced this year, AUTOSPORT can reveal. As part of a push to improve the promotional appeal of the sport, F1 chiefs have grown concerned that fans are turned off by drivers constantly changing their helmet colours.

I don't understand why the McHonda doesn't or won't break down on a chassis dyno but they find all sorts of things breaking down under testing...? It feels like a lack of preparation more than anything to me...

Considering McLaren described it as a small shunt with minimal damage to the car, Fred in the hospital for 3 days, Magnuson taking over for the next pre-season test, and now an FIA investigation, something isn't adding up.
